I'M PREGNANT!

Naturally, and accidentally (although a happy accident, as we had started talking about whether we try again).

I was told I could never conceive naturally. But then I did, and had a miscarriage. And then I did again, and it turned into a life threatening ectopic requiring emergency operation, removal of my tube, and I was told I would need IVF as my womb was damaged. I got obsessed with getting pregnant naturally, and 2 years later after OPKs, temping etc, we gave up and started the ball rolling for IVF, and on the day the appointment letter came through I found out I was pregnant!

I'm so excited, happy, scared it could be another ectopic, worried it could be another miscarriage, concerned about Covid, and have a thousand thoughts running through my head!

Congrats! And totally understandable. Am post cancer treatment, 43, apparently infertile and yet now naturally almost 12 weeks gone.

You think of all the possible pitfalls and can’t quite think it will just work and there will be a healthy baby at the end. But do try. This is brilliant news. Congrats again xx

I'm very very happy for you. Xx
I was similar to you.
I had 4 miscarriages after the last one they damaged my womb doing the EPRC. And I was told I can keep trying but don't hold too much hope of ever getting to full term I'm too damaged inside.
Anyway we finally got help and was in a fertility appointment in the hospital talking about ways we could have a baby. Hubby turned out to have super sperm so was fab on his side. So focus on me.
Anyway I got home from that appointment feeling slightly hopeful as we were getting somewhere with help. But my back was really hurt so I was about to take a strong painkiller but something in my head told me not to so I just had a couple of paracetamol.
In the morning I felt sick back was hurting and boob was hurting all this was strange so I took a pregnancy test I was wasn't due AF for another 5 days but did it anyway and OMG it was a BFP I was in total shock. I sent a picture to my hubby and he was over the moon couldn't wait to get home. I was sat in a fertility appointment actually already pregnant.
Now my son is 5 years old and the most amazing boy ever xxxx
